Demolition

I'm so excited to finally be posting about this project moving forward!  It's been rather quiet on this blog, but we've been doing some little projects through the winter- I was just less than motivated to write them up.  I'll fill you in on those updates, in between the bigger posts about the addition progress!

The first step of getting started on our addition was to rip off the back porch.

Within a few hours, we went from this...

Outside

Inside

To this:

We plan to use the windows that were in the back porch to replace some that are needing repair (or we just don't like!) in the workshop.  I also hope to use one or two for a crafty project :)

So, each window was carefully removed and stored away in a barn.

(I'm sure the work men LOVED that requirement!)

That left us with a pile like this...

...which will be going into a dumpster, which will arrive soon. 

We marked out the place for them to drop it in the driveway.  

This placement will allow us to still drive around it.

Now we have to get used to going in & out of the front door, and taking the dog out using his leash (it had been so nice just letting him run out the back door all winter!)
